As a Somatic Counselor, I recognize that our thoughts and emotions are necessarily intertwined with our physiology. Using a family systems and communications lens, I practice constructivist therapy, focusing on the behavioral narrative of children, partners, and families. In my view, there is nothing that is not communicated. Whether or not it is verbalized is another question entirely. With a slowed-down opportunity to explore what's happening inside through experiential activities such as play therapy, Hakomi techniques, art, sandplay, constellation work, etc., it becomes possible to experience a different outcome. Ultimately, new experiences teach our brain new habits, supporting relationships with those we love.
